Abstract

Methods and systems for creating a task are provided. A request from a worker is received to perform the task. A task is created in response to the request. The task comprises at least one new sub-task and at least one additional sub-task, wherein the at least one additional sub-task is selected from a set of unfinished sub-tasks associated with one or more previously attempted tasks. The task is communicated to the worker. The worker may receive a bonus remuneration for correctly attempting the at least one additional sub-task.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for creating a task, the method comprising:
 receiving, by one or more processors, a request from a worker to perform the task;   creating, by the one or more processors, the task in response to the request, wherein the task comprises at least one new sub-task and at least one additional sub-task, wherein the at least one additional sub-task is selected from a set of unfinished sub-tasks associated with one or more previously attempted tasks; and   communicating, by the one or more processors, the task to the worker, wherein the worker receives a bonus remuneration for correctly attempting the at least one additional sub-task.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the set of unfinished sub-tasks comprises at least one of one or more un-attempted sub-tasks, or one or more wrongly attempted sub-tasks. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein attempting the at least one additional sub-task by the worker is optional. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one additional sub-task is presented as a bonus task to the worker. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising validating, by the one or more processors, responses received from the worker for the at least one additional sub-task and the at least one new sub-task. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  further comprising identifying, by the one or more processors, at least one of one or more wrongly attempted sub-tasks or one or more un-attempted sub-tasks based on the validation. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising storing, by the one or more processors, the identified one or more wrongly attempted sub-tasks and the one or more un-attempted sub-tasks in the set of unfinished sub-tasks. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising categorizing, by the one or more processors, the set of unfinished sub-tasks in one or more categories based on at least one of a task complexity or a task priority. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising selecting, by the one or more processors, the at least one additional sub-task from the set of unfinished sub-tasks based on at least one of a check whether the worker has previously attempted the at least one additional sub-task, a competency score achieved by the worker on attempting the previously presented tasks, or a semantic associated with the at least one additional sub-task. 
     
     
         10 . A system for creating a task, the system comprising:
 one or more processors operable to:   receive a request from a worker to perform the task;   create the task, in response to the request, wherein the task comprises at least one new sub-task and at least one additional sub-task, wherein the at least one additional sub-task is selected from a set of unfinished sub-tasks associated with one or more previously attempted tasks; and   communicate the task to the worker, wherein the worker receives a bonus remuneration for correctly attempting the at least one additional sub-task.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the set of unfinished sub-tasks comprises at least one of one or more un-attempted sub-tasks, or one or more wrongly attempted sub-tasks. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one additional sub-task is presented as a bonus task to the worker. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to validate responses received from the worker for the at least one additional sub-task and the at least one new sub-task. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to identify at least one of one or more wrongly attempted sub-tasks or one or more un-attempted sub-tasks based on the validation. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to store the identified one or more wrongly attempted sub-tasks and the one or more un-attempted sub-tasks in the set of unfinished sub-tasks. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to categorize the set of unfinished sub-tasks in one or more categories based on at least one of a task complexity or a task priority. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable to select the at least one additional sub-task from the set of unfinished sub-tasks based on at least one of a check whether the worker has previously attempted the at least one additional sub-task, a competency score achieved by the worker on attempting the previously presented tasks, or a semantic associated with the at least one additional sub-task. 
     
     
         18 . A computer program product for use with a computing device, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium, the non-transitory computer readable medium stores a computer program code for creating a task, the computer program code is executable by one or more processors in the computing device to:
 receive a request from a worker to perform the task;   create the task, in response to the request, wherein the task comprises at least one new sub-task and at least one additional sub-task, wherein the at least one additional sub-task is selected from a set of unfinished sub-tasks associated with one or more previously attempted tasks; and   communicate the task to the worker, the worker receives a bonus remuneration for correctly attempting the at least one additional sub-task.   
     
     
         19 . The computer program product of  claim 18 , wherein computer program code is further executable by the one or more processors in the computing device to categorize the set of unfinished sub-tasks in one or more categories. 
     
     
         20 . The computer program product of  claim 18 , wherein computer program code is further executable by the one or more processors in the computing device to the at least one additional sub-task from the set of unfinished sub-tasks based on at least one of a check whether the worker has previously attempted the at least one additional sub-task, a competency score achieved by the worker attempting on the previously presented tasks, or a semantic associated with the at least one additional sub-task.
